Barker’s B & K

I ate here for the first time a few days ago, as I am new in town. Do you ever randomly begin to crave a really obscure food? A few days before visiting I started to crave a Reuben sandwich. I’d been thinking about Reubens off and on for a few days before arriving at B&K for the first time, and as I looked up and down the menu, low and behold, I saw the word «Reuben». Overjoyed, I ordered it. The waitress was extremely polite, and the food didn’t take long at all. I can easily say that this was the best Reuben I’ve ever eaten. I don’t know if it was just the build up of anticipation over those few days combined with the miraculous coincidence that was this menu item, but for me it was a five star experience.

Nothing crazy amazing (as in not like a gourmet place), but reliable and tasty for the price for sure! I like eating here on summer days, just getting something small here and there.

Stopped in here to try out the «drive up» service on a nice summer day with the top down.
I’ll give them credit for keeping alive the curb service experience. But for our first time it was a little hard to figure out how this worked when their menu board did not explain. The one pulled up to was broken. Luckily a car hop came out to take our order promptly. I would hope they have plans to get their menus repaired and updated in the future.
The root beer was okay, but nothing special (compared to A&W, it was average). The hot dogs were less than average. I could have done better with a can of Hormel chili and generic brand hot dogs and buns. The tots were greasy and not very crisp.
It’s nice to have curb service, I love the concept… but I believe this place has some work to do on it’s food quality and on upgrading it’s hardware.

I llove love love this place. Wish it was open year round. Great food, their elephant/​mouse ears are awesome and hard to find anywhere else. The B&k in marion, in was HORRIBLE. I can’t think of one bad thing about this one, in kokomo!

Almost as good as the West End B&K in Peru. Be sure to get a root beer and spanish dog.

It’s not springtime until you’ve had a B&K Coney! Love the curbside service and the smiles from the carhops! My Aunt Mary worked there 50 years ago… and the food’s great fresh flavor remains the same! Thanks B&K!

I support any chili dog place, especially one with curb service.
Its difficult to say anything too precise about the quality of the cuisine however. I was on my way from the dentist and mostly numb from my eyes to my neck. I probably shouldn’t have been driving. Root beer was good. Carhop was nice. Is that term still in use? Roller skates would be cool.

Tried it because it was there. Not that good. Food is a bit high priced for what you get. There was nothing great about it.
I gave it three stars only because there wasnt anything particularly trouble either.

I moved away from Kokomo two years ago. Honestly? There is not a whole lot there. There are a ton of chain restaraunts, and a big dead stuffed cow in the park. Places like B & K make it worth living. It’s an old fashioned drive in stand. They make their own root beer. It is that super sweet kind. I am not really into it. They have great fountain drinks. I always get a vanilla coke. Their chili dogs are some of the best I have ever tasted. A lot of people try to get unique and different with their chili. B & K is a comfort because it is that same chili on their hot dogs that you grew up with. So freaking good. They also have something called mouse ears. Mouse ears are mini versions of elephant ears. I can’t wait to get back to Kokomo to get a chili dog with kraut, large vanilla coke, and a couple of mouse ears. They are also one of the more reasonably priced hot dog places I have seen in a while.
